WWE Backlash 2016: 22 Best Internet Reactions To AJ Styles' Win
13. Should AJ Actually Have Won?
Not everyone is entirely sure AJ should have the belt on him.
He actually makes a good point: or at least a point that would have been good in former years. The reality is that WWE don't have any direct competition any more, so withholding it from Styles - who has earned not only his opportunity, but also the win - would be archaic booking for the sake of making a point that doesn't need to be made any more.
Putting the belt on someone who deserves it reinforces the importance of the belt: it's what everyone should aspire to, and there should be no underestimation of how important it is to stress that hard-workers and good workers can get there.
